More quotes by Christopher Morley
The evening papers print what they do and get away with it because by afternoon the human mind is ruined anyhow.
Christopher Morley
Men talk of finding God, but no wonder it is difficult He is hidden in that darkest hiding-place, your heart. You yourself are a part of Him.
Christopher Morley
Truth is what every man sees lurking at the bottom of his own soul, like the oyster shell housewives put in the kitchen kettle to collect the lime from the water. By and by each man's iridescent oyster shell of Truth becomes coated with the lime of prejudice and hearsay.
Christopher Morley
I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind and it didn't seem to matter.
Christopher Morley
Truth, like milk, arrives in the dark But even so, wise dogs don't bark. Only mongrels make it hard For the milkman to come up the yard.

Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many years.

But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries.
Christopher Morley
The misfortunes hardest to bear are these which never came.
Christopher Morley
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

Christopher Morley
Everybody thinks of others as being excessively human, with all the frailties and crotchets appertaining to that curious condition. But each of us also seems to regard himself as existing on a detached plane of observation, exempt (save in moments of avid crisis) from the strange whims of humanity en masse.
Christopher Morley
One of the penalties of being a human being is other human beings.
Christopher Morley
The plural of spouse is spice.
Christopher Morley
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
Christopher Morley
Mr. Gilbert had the earnest mania for self-improvement which has blighted the lives of so many young men.
Christopher Morley
We've had bad luck with our kids - they've all grown up.
Christopher Morley
Animal crackers, and cocoa to drink That is the finest of suppers, I think When I'm grown up and can have what I please, I think I shall always insist upon these.
Christopher Morley
Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
Christopher Morley
The everlasting lure of round-the-corner, how fascinating it is.
Christopher Morley
Living in a bookshop is like living in a warehouse of explosives. Those shelves are ranked with the most furious combustibles in the world--the brains of men.
Christopher Morley
What is the virtue and service of a book? Only to help me live less gingerly and shabbily.
Christopher Morley
